What do you do you do if your motorcycle chain snaps while riding on the highway?

Scenario 1:

In this case:

And at this point, you really can’t do anything about whatever I’m going to write here. What it will take is some practice and muscle memory.

Why cant I sleep even tho I am sleepy? I am not anxious or worried but my body just doesn't want to. I've been awake for almost 2 days and feel sleepy but I cant sleep. My doctor said its anxiety related but its not. Is this normal?

Look at your side mirrors, and check for possible overtakers behind you.

The thing is, your rear wheel will lock up, and you’re skidding and fishtailing, and all sorts of things.

This is where practicing some skids and drifts would come in handy.

Do you think it is likely that Maegor was presented a young dragon at some point, almost to the point of full-bonding, only to scorn it for Balerion in the end? If so, which one could it have been?

Use both of your brakes to slow down, and finally pull over.

In that case, just pray and repent your sins.

Don’t try to squeeze the clutch either, nothing you can do about it. So don’t even try to change gears, but I do understand that sometimes it’s a force of habit.

What differences in hiring practices have you observed between Fortune 100 companies and smaller companies?

This could be tiring, but it’s doable. And you need to have a strong leg.

You’re speeding at 100km/h on a worn-out chain? It’s kinda your fault really.

And at that point, depending of your speed, you also need some kind of luck.

Learn it with a mountain bike, or even a BMX. Or a smaller displacement bike.

What’s the practice?

Anyway, depending on your speed you can still control that skid.

Don’t ride a heavy bike.

The guy on the left is the one with a working motorcycle, he’s the one pushing the other guy.

Did that catch you by surprise?

How would you spank me if I had been sent home from a school camp because of my poor behavior?

So I had to push him. The same way is shown in the picture.

Relax.

On an empty road, much easier if it’s some kind of rough road. Some dust, rubble, or even sand could make the practice easier. Actually, sand would make it hard if you don’t have enough power.

Why are Boomers so vehemently opposed to student loan forgiveness?

Yes, lock it up.

Now that you have learned it. The muscle memory should kick in once the scenario calls for it.

Going back to your scenario 2, your rear wheel is locked up. Relax, and let your muscles remember what to do.

Remember that tip on calling a friend?

Now, do the skids as many times as you can. Make skid marks, and do a full cornering drift. Anything, really, and just have fun with it.

Scenario 2:

You just quit twisting the throttle, you can’t do anything there anyway.

Turn on your flashers, and signal to pull over to the right. Use your right hand if you need to.

First, relax.

Now, increase the weight, try it on a motorcycle.

Two scenarios could happen here.

If you have an extra chain, I assume you know how to fit a new one into your bike. Do it. If not, call a tow truck. Calling a friend is exciting too. I’ll tell you why in a moment.

On varying speeds, start with 10 km/h. Purposely lock up your rear wheel.

The chain got jammed between the swing arm and the sprocket, or Anywhere for that matter.

Focus your gaze up ahead, look as straight as you can. There’s no point in looking at your skidding tire. You can check your mirrors, but the action of skidding itself is warning enough for the other people following you. Unless they are blind, then you’re dead.

I remember doing this once with my friend. The exact same thing happened to him. His drive chain just snapped and quit, and his rear wheel locked up.

Try to increase your speed before initiating a skid.

You can only do this up to 20km/h. Anything faster than that, you’re just calling for another more fatal accident. But hey, I’m not saying it’s impossible.

The chain flies away, and your engine doesn’t have a connection to the rear wheel.
